Wednesday, June 2, is second annual National Running Day.

It’s an initiative by major organizations within the running industry to join forces in an unprecedented unified effort to nationally promote running as a healthy, easy and accessible form of exercise.

To celebrate the day, I’m inviting everyone to join me at the Wise County Messenger’s parking lot on Pecan Street in Decatur Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. for a 3-mile social run around town.
